Chorus 1

Who had the eyes of that brunette?

Dancing the cumbia she looks very good

Long hair, a mouth that burns

Red lips that poison me

Who had the eyes of that brunette?

Dancing the cumbia she looks very good

Long hair, a mouth that burns

Red lips that poison me

Verse 1

I met you in the neighborhood, and I can't forget you

Your hair and your face, I can only remember

Because since that day, I haven't seen you again

These desires that I have want to go look for you

Tell me where you are so I can reach you

I need you so much to be able to fly

My heart wants you, and I don't plan to change it

I never lose faith that we can find each other

It's rumored on the street that you're a criminal

Not even the stoners from the neighborhood have the same problem

So desired on the streets, everyone wants a piece of you

You're highly requested and I can't stop thinking about you

Or: You're in high demand, and I don't stop thinking about you

Chorus 2

Who had the eyes of that brunette?

Dancing the cumbia she looks very good

Long hair, a mouth that burns

Red lips that poison me

Who had the eyes of that brunette?

Dancing the cumbia she looks very good

Long hair, a mouth that burns

Red lips that poison me

Verse 2

Something inside me tells me that you feel the same

You're a child of the streets, so beautiful and natural

A flower of the garden, the prettiest of the rose bush

I say that you're good, others say that I'm wrong

The scent of marijuana, I'll always carry it

Snow White at night you make madmen sin

Through the streets of Cactus we go out to patrol

I grew up in the neighborhood, nobody could avoid it

They say that I'm lost, that I can't stop smoking

That if I smoke a lot, one day I'll go crazy

I'm missing a screw, and I'm never going to change it

We came from the bottom, I'll never forget it

Chorus 3

Who had the eyes of that brunette?

Dancing the cumbia she looks very good

Long hair, a mouth that burns

Red lips that poison me

Who had the eyes of that brunette?

Dancing the cumbia she looks very good

Long hair, a mouth that burns

Red lips that poison me

From San Luis Potosí, bro

To the entire neighborhood

Pure Cactus, dogs

SONG MEANING

Morena fuses gritty hip hop verses with a cumbia swing to tell the story of a spell-binding encounter in the barrio. Tornillo spots a dazzling dark-skinned dancer whose long hair, red-hot lips, and hypnotic moves make everyone’s head turn. The looping chorus repeats his wish to possess her captivating eyes, capturing that rush of desire you feel the moment someone steals the spotlight on the dance floor.

Digging deeper, the lyrics paint a raw portrait of life in San Luis Potosí’s streets. There are whispers that this morena is a “criminal,” clouds of weed smoke, and warnings about a rough lifestyle, yet the singer refuses to judge. Instead, he sees her as a natural flower born in concrete—a mirror of his own background—and he clings to the hope that their paths will cross again. Beneath the swagger, “Morena” is a love-struck ode to resilience, loyalty, and the magnetic beauty that can bloom in even the toughest neighborhoods.
